return trip

The elongated tentacles in the human form patted the forest, and Ichigo and Rukia ran out of the forest in time. When the ego saw Ichigo, its eyes lit up, and it retracted its tentacles with a strange smile.

"Ichigo?" Rukia saw the strong hatred in Ichigo's eyes when he looked at the dog, and a bold guess formed in her mind, which coincided with the scene she described before— GrandFisher is the murderer who killed Ichigo's mother!

"I want to avenge my mother with my own hands." Ichigo clenched his fists, and the Reiatsu burst out from her body, kicking up dust all over the ground, and GrandFisher's figure was gradually blurred in it.

GrandFisher let out a piercing laugh: "What mother? Hehe, no matter what, I like eating women the most. After eating you, there is a little guy waiting for me."

Ichigo's pupils shrank slightly, and she quickly turned her head to look at the forest. Asuka seemed to be startled by something, and flew out of the forest.A strange spiritual pressure suddenly appeared, making the faces of several people present look ugly.

Could it be that...youzi had an accident! ?

"GrandFisher has repelled countless gods of death in the past 50 years, but there is no news to prove that he has a helper." Rukia reminded the restless Ichigo that she has too many entanglements, and now it may not be good to meet a ghost like GrandFisher.She also didn't know anything about this new Reiatsu, so she could only calm down and reassure Ichigo temporarily, "If you don't solve him, we and Youzi will be in trouble, Ichigo."

The oppressive spiritual pressure disappeared quickly, as if it had never appeared before.

Ichigo's violently beating heart gradually calmed down. She made a few false slashes in the air. GrandFisher blocked her attack with his tentacles, and Ichigo's real offensive started after that. This is what she learned from that Saidou of.

Xitang, who had been watching the battle for a long time, scratched his ears and sat cross-legged on the ground to watch the battle. He said to Rukia, "I said, who the hell taught her how? This terrible battle, the one just now really imitated me, right? Totally powerless."

Ichigo had blue veins on his forehead when he heard what he said, and she took the time to shout to Nishidou during the battle: "You are not doing well, are you?"

Xitang spread his hands, stood up and stretched his waist: "Let me show you the real fighting skills." He pushed the scabbard away, and started Shunpo to flicker around GrandFisher.With a slap of the humanoid palm, the monster behind him also slapped Xitang away just like him.Ichigo looked at his flying figure, and knew that this Xu had been playing with the enemy from the beginning, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

The gap in strength lay between them like a chasm, she got up after falling, the wound on her forehead was bubbling with blood.Using the Zanpakuto as a support, she climbed up again, striding towards the Xu with a determined expression, this time Xu threw out a bait that looked like Misaki, stopping the sharp tip of the knife.

"Mother?"

The liquid gushing out of Ichigo's eye sockets and the blood that slipped down his chin merged into blood and dripped on the ground, but the point of her knife was always pointed at him, and she told her psychologically that this was only Xu in her mother's appearance, But when she saw her mother, her eyes shed tears urgently and uncontrollably.

"Ichigo, good girl, don't point the knife at mom." 'Masaki' frowned and said to her, "Don't you like mom the most?"

If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine the reaction of your loved one in front of you.Rukia felt Ichigo's trembling hands and the Zanpakuto that he couldn't let go of. She knew that Ichigo was struggling. This is why GrandFisher has been able to deal with death for so many years. After all, everyone has difficulties pointing swords at each other. people.

"Good boy, let mom hug you." Masaki smiled gently, luring Ichigo forward.

Ichigo took a few steps hesitantly, but gave 'Masaki' a hug firmly. Masaki's expression turned ferocious where Ichigo couldn't see, her fingernails suddenly became slender, hanging on five slender fingers He slashed open Ichigo's back mercilessly.

The Zanpakuto on Ichigo's back was brightly lit, 'Masaki' found that his hand had returned to the shape of a tentacle, and hurriedly pushed Ichigo away. Ichigo picked up Zanpakutō and thanked it in a low voice.This time she didn't show mercy to the monster that turned into her mother, all her love and regret turned into sharp blades and stabbed at the pale Xu who was manipulating behind her.

GrandFisher blocked Ichigo with several tentacles at the same time, and transformed into additional tentacles to firmly grasp Ichigo from behind. He bared his teeth and laughed: "Let me taste your taste, little girl."

Ichigo struggled and opened her eyes wide to see the tentacles approaching in front of her. She thought it was going to end here, but she was suddenly surrounded by a white light.

Fluttering orange hair fluttered in the air, and Masaki's facial features were still gentle and amiable. She reached out and stroked Ichigo's face, her eyes full of love and compassion: "Thank you, Ichigo."

"I must be a very strong girl now, but my mother hopes that you can rely on the people around you, family, friends, and lovers too."

"Thank you for choosing to be my child and happy to raise you as your mother. Ichigo, you will always be my mother's most precious treasure."

Ichigo cried heart-rendingly in her arms, and she never cried like this again after her mother left.She clearly felt that this was the real Masaki, the mother who touched her and comforted her softly when she was hurt and sad.

"Mom, I'm sorry, until now, I've been thinking about you," Ichigo recalled the umbrella that Masaki dropped when he ran towards her on that rainy day, and tears couldn't stop coming out, "I was too willful."

"No," Masaki stroked the back of her head, "Ichigo is a kind and good boy."

She placed a kiss on Ichigo's forehead: "There are still many things I want to tell you, and we will meet again in my dream, Ichigo. Now, do what you want to do." Masaki turned and turned into white light Seeing GrandFisher's huge body, Xu's body was severely injured. Seeing Ichigo's fighting spirit, he knew that the situation was not good, and fled in the chaos.

Rukia stopped Ichigo who wanted to continue chasing, her body could no longer support her to continue: "Ichigo! Don't go, let's go find a wanderer now."

"But that guy!"

Rukia hugged her tightly and said her heart: "I know you want to avenge your mother, but I don't want anything to happen to you either."

"……I see."

The bandage of the Zanpakuto was wrapped around the blade again, and she finally looked at the space that was torn when Xu left, with her hands hanging by her side, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Xitang put on his bamboo hat and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He yelled at Rukia: "There's nothing you can do, don't blame me..." Rukia couldn't bear it anymore, and threw her schoolbag on his head, blocking him from going on. words.

Nishidou rubbed his head, looked at Rukia and Ichigo with a mocking smile, and disappeared into the forest with a flying leap.

"Rukia, are you really okay?" Ichigo asked.

Rukia tried her best to make her smile brighter: "It's okay, let's go."

Youzi and Xia Li were preparing picnic food on the grass, and Yixin and Longxian were standing behind the tree talking, everything seemed peaceful.

After Ichigo returned to the body, the pain spread from all the limbs. Rukia could only give her emergency medicine first, and the rest had to be dealt with when she went back.

Ichigo waved her arm to check the situation, and found that the pain was indeed not as painful as before, she half-joked to the worried Rukia: "When we first met, you said this would be dangerous, but now you are more worried than me. "

"Stupid! Next time..." She couldn't stop Ichigo from going forward to confront Xu, so she could only say involuntarily, "Be more careful, this medicine is very precious!"

After the picnic, a group of them stood in front of Masaki's grave to pay her respects, Xia Li hugged Youzi and began to cry, and Youzi pulled her nearby to comfort her, before leaving, he patted Ichigo's hand: "Sister, cry if you can. "

Ichigo stared at her blankly, and nodded to let her go.

Long Xian puts the bouquet in front of the grave, staring at the photo of Masaki on the tombstone, recalling their childhood, it is the color of foam.

"Longxian," Yixin reached out to him for a cigarette, "I want to see what your taste is like."

Long Xian took out two cigarettes from the cigarette case, gave him one, and lit the other by himself.Yixin was choked by his smoke sore throat, and he blew out smoke rings with a bitter face. Sure enough, Long Xian's taste is unique, and ordinary people can't bear it.

Ichigo crouched on the ground staring at Masaki's picture for a long time, then reached out to touch Masaki's picture and the sunken lettering.The hair hanging by her ears covered her face, Yi Xin's voice talking to Long Xian gradually faded away, the sky seemed to be turned upside down, and the whole world was turned upside down.

Yixin helped Yihu up, Longxian's eyes were sharp, and he noticed the moisture in the corners of her eyes: "I'm crying."

With a smile on Yixin's mouth, he counted the time and said with relief: "Since Masaki left, it's the first time I saw her crying in front of me. As a father, I was really worried before, but now I feel much more at ease."

"I didn't see Masaki just now, don't you regret it?"

"She will be happier after protecting the child she bought with her life. Okay, why did you suddenly bring up this issue again? The situation just now was really bad. Fortunately, Mr. Urahara helped, otherwise it would be very difficult. It's done." I breathed a sigh of relief.

Long Xian said: "At the end of the day, you still can't control the power yourself."

"Hey, don't expose me like this, we are friends who have known each other for many years."

"Who is your friend?"

"Alright, alright, Yossi, take Ichigo home now, she must be very tired standing there, I don't need you, I will carry my baby girl!"

……

The day of the Kurosaki family ended here.
